El Tejano

Texas: The Bar and Restaurant

A Giant, Colorful Patio Filled with Tequila and All Things Tex-Mex

We could spend the next several words deliberating on the authenticity of LA’s regional Mexican
food.

Or we could talk Frito pie and jerky-topped micheladas. Your call.

...

Thought so.

Cut to El Tejano, a colorful new champion of Texican cuisine bearing the kinds of patio games and agave
consumption such a thing demands, opening tomorrow in North Hollywood. Check out the slideshow.

It looks like a small piece of Austin hitched a ride to the Valley and set up there with a central bar under
paintings of pink cow skulls and a mural of an underdressed cowgirl atop a brick of Velveeta. You know...
that.

It also provides a sizable outdoor patio where a person like you could do some day drinking with friends.
You’ll call for the good tequila and pick between 21 options for an 18-ounce beer chaser. Or perhaps jump
straight into that beef-jerky-topped michelada or Moscow Mules from the Tito’s tap. Decisions are
hard.

Eventually, Frito pie, smoked deviled eggs and brisket tacos will make appearances to support your spirited
banter, cornhole bouts and frenzied clashes over the enormous version of Connect Four.
